Another issue is probably the sign up one. When you sign up on this forum, you need to get a approval from Peter (@bugsincyberspace) in order to successfully join. However, while I do really appreciate how he personally approves people, he is very busy. When I first joined it took about 2 weeks in order to get approved, I had to PM Peter in order to get approval and I'm currently waiting on roachforum(been 3 days since I signed up). In fact, someone on the discord had it take 5 months in order to get approved, even after constant emails and messages to @bugsincyberspace. Maybe it needs a rehaul?

To me it seems that people are only really interested in the money that can be made. I recently got into the hobby after keeping jumping spiders and tarantulas for a while. I recently made quiet a large amount of money from selling beetles, and word got around to my family. Unfortunately they just cared about the money to be made. They would ask about the hobby, and would only ask about the price tag some of the beetles would go for.

Hello!
Just got into this hobby from watching a YouTube video, came from tarantulas to jumping spiders to this. Safe to say I'm hooked on it. Everyone is super helpful and nice also.
Let me know of you need black death feigning beetles because I know a place.
Thank you!
